I remember my maths teacher Mr Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers. In school Maths was my worst subject. I don’t think there was ever a day I went to school that I was not afraid.

One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, my parents would be called to school.

I tried really hard for weeks to learn Maths. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things; my brain just couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried.

The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.

After class ended, I went to Mr Young and told him what would happen if I got another E. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.

I looked at the teacher and said, “Mr Young, you know how all the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”

He looked at me, and said nothing.

“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and matters like that,” I said.

Again, he said nothing as he looked down at his desk, and began grading papers.

The next day, when I got my report card, I looked at my grades: Geography: B- , English: D-  , History: C- , Gym: B+ , Art: C, Maths: D- .

That Math grade was the most favorite one I ever received in my whole life. I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

At midnight (半夜) Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn't go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer(肺癌). He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears (眼泪)ran down his face. He didn’t see his wife was standing by him.
“What’s wrong with you, dear?”asked the woman.
“Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands. The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, “You must stop smoking right now. ”
“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can I do that?”
“But I think health is more important. ”
Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, “Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think. ”
The doctor told Mr. King to have an X-ray examination（X光检查）of his lungs(肺). And then he looked at the X-ray carefully for a long time.
“Tell me the truth, doctor. ” said Mr. King, “Do you see any shadows (阴影) in my lungs?”
“No, I don’t see anything. ”
“Yes?” the old man said happily. “Really?”
“Yes. Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?”

One afternoon, Bob and Jane were walking along a quiet street when they heard a big noise from the street corner. They ran there and found that a small car had knocked into the side of a truck. Both the car driver and the truck driver were hurt.
“Bob,” said Jane, “run back down the road to Mrs Day’s house. Ask her to call the police and the ambulance(救护车). Hurry up. I’ll stay here.”
Bob went off as fast as he could. There was nothing Jane could do but wait. She knew that when people were hurt in an accident, they shouldn’t be moved.
It wasn’t long before the police car and the ambulance arrived. The policemen got the car door open and moved the man out. Then they got the truck driver out. Luckily, the men weren’t badly hurt, but they were both taken to hospital. The policemen thanked Bob and Jane.” You were very good to act so quickly when you saw the accident. Thank you for all your help.”
